Hello Dwight...My husband's grandmother was a Likes. His Likes family, as far as I have back, came from Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. I don't know if there is any connection. I know there is a William in the linage but may not be the same. This Likes linage goes: Francis Likes, father Phillip S, Father Phillip, Father Robert Finley Likes.
If any of this works with your linage, let me know and maybe we can figure out our ancestors together.
